If you have a modified off-roader and take it away from the tarmac, carrying a decent fire extinguisher is common sense. We checked out with Devon 4x4 and were advised that AFFF extinguishers are ideal for use on solids such as paper, wood, plastic and flammable liquids such as paraffin, petrol, oil, diesel – all the things you find in a 4x4! These are often a minimum requirement on many competitive events; Devon 4x4 have a 2-litre extinguisher complete with mounting bracket, which can be recharged after use. CE and Kite marked this will comply with most fire fighting and motorsport regulations. Available at a very reasonable £32.63 including VAT. Worth thinking exactly where you position this item – don’t just throw it in the rear ‘somewhere’, make sure that it easy to grab in an emergency.

Carrying a First Aid kit makes a lot of sense. Devon 4x4 have a comprehensive collection of kits, and it’s well worth giving them a call to get one suitable for your off-roading needs. Call them on 01769 550900 or check out the comprehensive website at: www.devon4x4.com
